Oof imagine hyping up this big announcement all week only for everyone to react by saying it's the worst idea ever. A swing and a miss, my guys.

my parents screwed up my younger brother's medicaid application so bad that they apparently have me registered as his mentally disabled child and changed MY plan to the silver package, which I can't afford. And to add insult to injury, they didn't tell me this until my new fucking insurance card came, and they treated it like some big joke. Like this is my life you're screwing up!!!! It's not funny!!!!!

I remember when the Oogie Boogie Bash first came, and I wanted so badly to attend it, but my family could only afford the day tickets + parking. Now that it's been coming back every year, I wonder if it's even worth it, and videos like these remind me that it's not.

Hi, I'm gay and it's my birthday this week, anyone wanna buy me art supplies I don't need or make my grocery shopping less stressful?

Alternatively,

Or just find a random transfemme's cash app, that works too.

There is an ocean of difference between institutional/systemic poverty and situational poverty, and I never ever want to conflate the two. But I am gonna say it- situational poverty still sucks and the financial exploitation of graduate students needs to end. It should not be an expectation that you'll be living in functional poverty for several years to get an advanced degree. But it is. It absolutely is, ask anyone who's been through it- people treat it like some rite of passage. But no one ever seems to question it. We do so much work and receive so little compensation for it, if any at all, and especially with the economy being what it is right now? It's fucking criminal.

Graduate students should receive a stipend that covers the average cost of living in the area of their school and that should be the bare fucking minimum.

there's a stand still for 10min in all hotels and restaurants and service industry in general on the 31st of october and our boss said we're not participating

[the-mighty-glow-cloud]
